Charter Township of Chesterfield, MI Sewer Connection Bond
Overview
Plumbers and sewer contractors working in Charter Township of Chesterfield, Michigan are required to carry this bond before connecting any property to the municipal sewer system. It guarantees that the work will be performed correctly and that the township will be made whole if a connection causes damage or fails to meet local standards. This is a local requirement specific to Chesterfield Township — not a statewide license bond. If you've been told you need a Sewer Connection Bond to work in this township, this is the bond you buy.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been approved or are applying to perform sewer connection work within Charter Township of Chesterfield, and the township has told you a bond is required before you can proceed. This bond applies to licensed plumbers, sewer contractors, and excavation contractors who tap into or connect laterals to the Chesterfield Township sewer system. If your crew is doing the actual connection — trenching, tapping the main, or installing the lateral — you are the principal on this bond. Subcontractors performing sewer tie-in work on behalf of a general contractor may also need to carry it independently.
What is this Bond For?
Charter Township of Chesterfield uses this bond to hold sewer connection contractors financially accountable for the work they perform on the township's infrastructure. If a faulty connection causes a backup, infiltration, or damage to the sewer system, the township can make a claim against the bond to recover its costs. The bond protects the township — not the contractor — so it functions as a guarantee of workmanship and compliance with Chesterfield's sewer connection requirements. It gives the township a financial remedy without having to pursue civil litigation against the contractor.
When is it Required?
Before your first sewer connection permit is issued in Charter Township of Chesterfield, this bond must already be in place and on file with the township. You cannot begin work, pull a permit, or schedule an inspection until the township has confirmed your bond. Contractors who attempt to perform sewer connection work without a current bond risk permit denial, stop-work orders, and removal from the township's approved contractor list. Get the bond first — then move forward with your permit application.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the boundaries of Charter Township of Chesterfield, Macomb County, Michigan. It does not satisfy bond requirements in neighboring municipalities, and a bond purchased for another Michigan township or city will not be accepted here. If you perform sewer connection work in multiple Michigan jurisdictions, each municipality may require its own separate bond.
